A Decision-making Model for Train Evacuation Plan against Urban Flood

Abstract

It is pointed out that underground space is very vulnerable to water invasion by the so-called “urban flood”. This study provides a time-series model connecting hydraulic process and train evacuation process so as to derive the best action at the train evacuation phase in any cases of water invasion. The model is verified by an example of the Tsurumai subway line of Nagoya City for implementing rational disaster prevention planning of subway.
